When the remastered version of The Wonderful 101<\/a><\/strong> was announced on Kickstarter, it was wonderful<\/em> news for multiple platforms. As exciting as it was that this Wii U exclusive would be made available to more players, not every fan was necessarily happy with the decision.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Nintendo Everything, prior to the official announcement of the remaster, the game’s director Hideki Kamiya made it clear that the original game “wasn’t a successful business endeavor” and that it was a “high-quality game” Platinum was hoping a lot of people would experience. Obviously, this wasn’t the outcome.<\/p>\n

\n

Well, we first released Wonderful 101 back in 2013 on Wii U, and for various reasons it wasn\u2019t a successful business endeavor for us. Inaba and I have since lamented that not many players were able to experience the game.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

I mean, it was really disappointing for us, you know? We worked so hard to make this high quality game and we were hoping a lot of gamers would play it, but that didn\u2019t really pan out. So as a result of our negotiations, the kindness of Nintendo has made both the ports and this campaign possible.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

<\/blockquote>\n

Based on Kamiya’s comments, it’s easy to understand why PlatinumGames was so eager to give the game maximum exposure on a platform like Kickstarter and port it across to as many platforms as possible.<\/p>\n

It’s paid off, too. In the first week, the campaign raised $1 million in 12 hours and since then has reached multiple stretch goals. How do you feel about this Wii U exclusive being given a second chance? Let us know.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
